I speak of self defenses and pleasures of the senses at a community hall weekly your eyes suggest passion and interest and all things that scare me you approached me under the guise of friendship but i saw the truth in your shaking lip that hair long like a girls or jesus' but with satan's curls. i bit my pillow tight with you in mind awoke the sleeping this ring, plastic, red and monastic fits snugly snugly sex and death come to those who wait unless you're ugly ugly awoke the sleeping thing inside of me i'm twitching instead of breathing mud, lust, blood, bone from clean soul, clean home i dream of gowns, suits, brides, grooms, noises from locked rooms. egg yolk dripping down my legs to my feet, off of which i wish you'd eat with a side plate of you can guess

watched a homeless couple kissing outside of whitcoulls, wishing that unadulterated love and you were at all related people said that you were a whore all i saw was someone looking for love, life, freedom, happiness in rancid, rank fucked up places dot to dot hickeys on your neck well what did you really expect for me to stay locked in doors waiting on all fours for you to give the word this night precedes that day of death we go through alone wandering aimlessly through a cold, dark, empty home when i yelled at you with a misplaced sense of possession i couldn't erase it felt kind of good to put the guilt back on you thought you'd crawl back on crippled knees choking on words resembling "forgive me please" instead i was treated to the sight of you and some stranger in the night how things really were "i thought it was assumed" those words were like salt on an open-lipped wound think i'll just go to sleep now where i can lick my open lipped wound think i'll just go to sleep now where i can lick my open lipped wound when i yelled at you with a misplaced sense of possession i couldn't erase it felt kind of good to put the guilt back on you

Bad Faith 05:00
how much is life worth to me twelve fifty an hour apparently name tag that i return when i leave save it for the next guy called 'unlucky' a brothel selling cupcakes and what a profit it makes peel off the wrapper and sink your teeth in and taste the sweet surprise and the look in your eyes is nothing but surprise you can't tell it's all lies you could dress me up in outfits tell me self esteem doesn't exist and i'd lick the dirt off your shoe if it would bring joy to you you are the beginning and the end you are nothing like your parents you arrived to this world fully formed like aphrodite from the sea shell and the look in your eyes is nothing but surprise you can tell it's all lies two introverts locked eyes two introverts quickly looked away put their hands into their hair and fell back into self-hate it's a pretty fun role to play it's a pretty fun role to play it's a pretty fun role to play but it's still a role all the same it's a pretty fun role to play but it's still a role all the same

taking off my outside skin hang it on a hook in the closet along with so many other things and all the problems that they bring no longer having fun even though we've only just begun brother play that chord again i'll take you down to the den where i keep all the private selves organized in wooden shelves don't i look so pretty and pristine pumped up full of love and dopamine that ghost in the mirror i can't help looking at her ribs sticking out of her chest, mind familialy oppressed oh i hate my own flesh and blood with their dumb values and ugly clothes brother play that chord again i'll take you down to the den where i keep all the private selves organized in wooden shelves don't i look so pretty and pristine pumped up full of love and dopamine now i'm on another trip: hooked up to an intravenous drip, having visions that i can't afford, seeing judging faces behind clipboards (to the the girls who want to be like me) thirty three is what you'll never be

she was crucified every friday night only to be revived every monday morning daily grind high heels break underneath feet fake-tanned orangey brown you never thought your friends would laugh at this queen st hasn't a crown i don't cry very often but not cos i'm never sad sticky hair, a vomit-covered mess, i hear your name shouted across a room but you're too fucked to look around and where have all of your friends gone? you mustn't have heard when they said goodbye oh god this is just like one of those anti-drinking ads and you're the young girl ain't it sad i don't like the thought of you doing stupid things when i'm not around to take care of you you know, oh no, you don't you don't cos you're too fucked to look around and hungover, working the day shift at liquor king, wairau, north shore happy faces buying beer to do just what you did last night, you did last night, you did last night i don't like the thought of you doing stupid things when i'm not around to take care of you you know oh know you don't you don't cos you're too fucked to look around and

Spooky Toys 02:57
woke up today just to go through this production again wanted the part of the machiavellian but got the fool instead this life is a simple reality that makes itself so clear sometimes but the hours in between those moments i couldn't count on both of my feet and hands i could get attention if i made loud noise if i started playing with some spooky toys i could get attention if i made loud noise if i started playing with some spooky toys do you wanna ditch last period and come and watch a movie at my house? coke in my fridge, pot in my bag, there's so much fun that we could have let me introduce you to my good friends they're called mickey and mallory they're two people like us the world couldn't understand and didn't stand for this paralysis tears me down, begs to stop blood of my classmates on the shoes i was forced to wear i could get attention if i made loud noise if i started playing with some spooky toys you can take a human home with you to sleep but they will never be forever yours to keep

you said i could be someone else if i lived in another house i was sad and so i wrote a song about it i've been thinking about my childhood the laughing faces of friends i'd forgotten about the seductive simplicity of the past the mum and dad who made me mad at the things i couldn't change i won't dwell on it no i won't dwell on it people are like moving cars once they touch you they can only bruise you and later on confuse you aah aah aah aah aah aah good luck for a while i guess anyway rinse repeat rinse repeat rinse repeat the mum and dad who made me mad at the things i couldn't change i won't dwell on it no i won't dwell on it

guess what it's here to stay you can't wash it away cos it'll stick with you like an ugly tattoo you went out and got cleaned out thought you knew what it was all about show me your conclusions cos im sick of your delusions bare feet on concrete looking like a stray cat stumbling along, eyeing people up do they know? do they know? can they tell? that you've got something i don't think you'll ever sell. skies are storming and mushroom clouds are forming in your head i hate to be the one to tell you guess what its here to stay you can't wash it away cos it'll stick with you like an ugly tattoo what have you lost and what have you gained except a set of clothes an eggshell mind eternally stained dirty guess what guess what guess what guess what
